The best features CloudBolt offers are its speed, which is very fast in terms of provisioning compared to traditional ISO-based methods, and this speed has helped my team and organization; we completed a new site setup in under a few days, which would take about a few weeks using traditional methods.

For improvements, I would say that they could maybe increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows and possibly a new or improved user interface.
